Spidey Prelims

These are the preliminary sketches I did for the Spidey cover that was just published. Incidentally, the chosen composition was my least favorite, but that's the way it goes sometimes. (One reason I love doing the "interiors" of a book is that there are almost no editorial revisions.) All of these were done completely in Photoshop in order to save time. As can be seen, I had a definite color scheme in mind, simply changing the pose and angle with each iteration.

Not so much anymore. I used to paint that way in oils, but now I pretty much try to start "finishing" the painting right away. This is the main reason I do the prelims, since my color choices have already been made by the time I break out the real paint.
